The only strange thing to me is that name
serial-getty@ttyS0.service since I have just

serial-getty@ttyS0.service - Serial Getty on ttyS0

But I guess it doesn't really matter.

> root@master:~# systemctl start serial-getty@ttyS0.service  

Does it start when you do that? Any messages? Has it ever worked? What
kind of hardware is it? I had quite some issues finding a PCIe card with
a serial port that works in Linux but the third or fourth card was the
charm. Both console messages and running agetty on it just
worked. Doesn't work for Grub though.
